Games
I enjoy games.
Although I run The Mac Gamer, a Mac games site focused on the future of Mac gaming, that's pretty much irrelevant. I believe gaming as a whole will give rise to complex, learning simulations (SkyNet!), innovative storytelling and new ways of understanding people and the spaces between us.
I am interested in games as an Art form, as a method of entertainment or digital enlightenment. I’m as much a high brow gamer as I am a caveman gamer. I enjoy picking up a toilet with my gravity powered gun in Half Life 2 and launching it at an enemy. I also feel sad when my faithful canine companion Dogmeat is butchered by a mutant in Fallout (thank God for quicksave). Games can capture imaginations, crack open minds with beauty or with a sledgehammer. They are immature with hints of class, they are angst-ridden teenagers with a moment of originality.
